Chanda my best friend from college, her husband Matt and two kids Zae and Piper came to visit us in Tulsa. Her kids were angels and we had a blast catching up. My sisters kids Gannon and Ella joined in on the fun! It was a great day. The kids had so much fun playing outside in the beautiful weather. Lola was asleep so didn't make this picture.
Zae and Lucy enjoy some splash time

Adam & My getaway to Scottsdale

This past weekend Adam and I took a little babymoon trip and coupled it with a business trip. We just sold a franchise to John and Terrah in Scottsdale Arizona. We decided it was the perfect time to also get a way just the two of us for some relaxing before Hank's arrival. The trip could not have been better from a relaxing or a business aspect!

We sat by the pool with music going and the sun beaming down on us -perfection!
We took a bike ride through the villages
Our hotel sat in front of camelback mountain - it was a wonderful view.
I was in heaven the waiter brought me a plate of frozen grapes which happen to be my favorite thing in the world!
Adam and I got to see some long time friends at dinner Nick and Laura Underwood
Here is another view of our hotel

31 wks pregnant - Baby Hank

I feel like I haven't written anything about being pregnant with Hank and it is not because I am not totally enjoying the experience. I am blessed again with an easy pregnancy with minimal aches or pains. I can say Hank is growing though. Over the last 3 weeks or so my belly has gone from "oh, thats cute" to "WOW, he is growing". I am carrying Hank the exact same as I did with the girls and aside from actually carrying our girls up the stairs everything is pretty easy.
I must say I LOVE that Adam and I found out this time around the sex of the baby. I loved that the first 2 were surprises but now with the girls able to see my belly growing I feel like we are all very connected to Hank and just awaiting for him to come. He is very wiggly and is obsessed with green apples. That has been the biggest thing with being pregnant with him. I can't get enough green apples. I am a fruit lover by heart but green apples have never ranked so high. I eat at least 2 a day and now the girls are joining in with me. Lola clearly says apple and Lucy wants hers cut just like me.
I have been beyond impressed with many of my friends baby rooms - Brooke and Katie have the most brilliant minds to decorate. As for Hank - we are certainly working on it but I don't have near the vision that some of you mommies do. His room is already light blue (which is Lola's now and was Lucy's) and we are accenting with lime green and the "theme" if you want to call it that is alligators and elephants. I got all the bedding from the Land of Nod and trying to pull my inspiration from there. We will see!
We are blessed with good health for both Hank and I and with our due date being July 7 we are trying to make sure we can get as much done before he comes so we can just relax and enjoy his sweet little face.

A day at the park!

Last night I took the girls up to the stadium to see Adam (that was the biggest highlight for them) but also to see the Budweiser Clydesdale's Horses and enjoy the fire works - which they indeed did! I didn't know if they would last until the end of the game but thanks to a quick game, a Hooks win and awesome seats they girls were awesome! We ended up getting home last night around 11pm with both girls wide awake! Needless to say they slept in this morning. They got moving around 9ish. We enjoyed breakfast and some snuggle time and then headed to our neighborhood park.
This is how the park trip started
With it already being so HOT here (100 today) we saw that the park had a hose and so we took full advantage. Brooke, Connor, Allie and both Brooke's mom and Milams mom joined us as well. The kids had a total blast!

Lola was in love with the water!!!


Lucy and Connor decided it was best to just play in their undies!


I cherish these moments so much!

Happy Easter

There is nothing more magical than Christmas or Easter morning for a kid. It was so fun watching the girls get excited for the Easter Bunny to come visit. Although the Easter Bunny may have hidden a few too many eggs, the girls had a wonderful time!

Lola waking up although she didn't feel great she rallied, especially when she saw a trail of m&m's going down the stairs.
Lola got the hang of this very quick
She didn't let one m&m pass her by
Lucy got an owl towel in her Easter basket with her name on it. She loved it!
Dad getting a little snuggle time with Lola in between eggs
Lucy found Scout - her new puppy that says her name!
She was telling him all about Easter - it was precious!
Look at this girls basket collection - she was a pro!
Lola had an eye for the sweet treats and also loved her new Angel towel - in fact would not take it off.

Don't worry Lucy - nobody will steal your eggs!
At this point Lola had quit so Lucy had the yard to herself!
Here is Dad helping out!
